Kinloch, Missouri – Theda Wilson, the former mayor of a Missouri town says that she was assaulted by police after she called 911 to report a burglary in her apartment complex. “In the back of my apartment I called 9-1-1 thinking they were going to help,” Wilson said. Unfortunately, “help” is rarely what actually arrives when the police are called, as Wilson soon found out. As the police arrived, Wilson approached them and let them know that a suspicious person was seen going in and out of a nearby building. That is when police told her that she was under arrest, and instead of explaining anything they moved to physically apprehend her. Naturally, not knowing why she was being arrested she resisted their physical contact and was assaulted as a result. After the scuffle Wilson took photos of bruises on her face and arms. An eyewitness said, “The three officers wrestled her to the ground. That did not need to happen.” Wilson was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance and treated her for the injuries inflicted during the scuffle. Although Wilson was not taken to prison, she was formally arrested and released on her own recognizance from the hospital. Captain Dan Clyne of the Bel-Ridge Police Department told reporters that the police officers did what they had to do to get handcuffs on her, and that he was told that she was resisting arrest. However, they should need an actual reason to arrest someone before they charge them with resisting arrest. “Well, they are not supposed to beat anybody. I’m told that they attempted to place you in handcuffs and you resisted. They got you in handcuffs, you were placed in a car, and a far as they were concerned, they thought it was done,” Captain Dan Clyne said. During the encounter, Wilson demanded that the officers read her rights, but the officers refused and informed her that they were actually not required to do that. The entire ordeal was caught on video, and now the Bel-Rigdge police department says that they are investigating the issue. According to the Riverfront Times, Wilson and her supporters went to the Kinloch Police Department Friday morning to get answers, but officers blocked the driveway to the department and ordered them to stop filming. A quick Vine clip of that encounter can be seen below.

Just some more yellow journalism here....she was not the Mayor!!! City Manager Justine Blue said that Wilson was voted out of her office on Dec. 17.
Former Mayor. Does that really make a difference? You know cops are out of control when even a former mayor isn't safe from these thugs. She called 911 - cops arrived - she was assaulted and arrested. For no crime. What part of that do you have a problem with?
The woman is out of control. Do some research before you post yellow journalism articles. Not having FACTUAL INFORMATION....that is the problem I have with that.
The woman called 911 thinking she would get help. Unfortunately she learned that cops are rarely looking to help. She committed NO CRIME, yet she was assaulted and arrested. And you're fine with that. No surprise there - cops are gods to badge bunnies like you.
I believe what will be discovered is that she falsely reported a crime and planned on obstructing the police investigation once they arrived. She's been having history with that department when she threatened to chain the police department doors shut pith padlocks if they didn't do what she demanded as interim Mayor. She was quickly replaced with the original mayor that was found guilty of felony failure to pay child support... the town people felt he was the lessor of two evils. lol
That doesn't sound suspicious to you? the town people felt he was the lessor of two evils. lol "The town people" can "feel" anydamnthing they want,but they don't make those decisions. They are made by the local political criminals,and those are the very people she was accusing of corruption.
That doesn't sound suspicious to you? It tells me that she's most likely a nut. You've gotta be pretty bad if you'll settle for the original, now felon, Mayor. She threatened to padlock the police department closed if they didn't do as she demanded, as interim Mayor. The community wasn't going to allow her the venue of interim Mayor, to act out her nut behavior. I don't blame them.
I am tempted to say things about you not understanding small town patrician politics,but the best example of a felon mayor I can think of was Marion "Crack Ho" Berry of DC. A case can be made that when it came to DC,he WAS providing the population with representative government,though. At least the poor black population. When it came to the rich white denizens of DC,he was a mere innocent baby,though. A mere street criminal mixing with international criminals. A pickpocket compared to corporate lawyers.
